Kallikrein-related peptidase 9 also known as KLK9 is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the KLK9 gene.[1]

Function

KLK9 belongs to the kallikrein subgroup of serine proteases, which have diverse physiologic functions in many tissues.[2][3][4] KLK9 is primarily expressed in thymus, testis, spinal cord, cerebellum, trachea, mammary gland, prostate, brain, salivary gland, ovary, and skin.[1]

Clinical significance

KLK9 is under steroid hormone regulation in ovarian and breast cancer cell lines and is a potential prognostic marker for early-stage ovarian[5] and breast cancer patients.[6]
